Easter

It seems like I let one week go by because we didn’t do anything, and then it’s been three weeks all of a sudden.

Conference was wonderful. We spent Saturday shopping in Tri-Cities, so we were late listening to all of the sessions, but we did listen to it all. The beauty and downfall of not being able to watch it live on tv is that you can watch any time, but you have to make sure to do it.

AJ and I have been sick. He had a fever that kept him home from school a few days. I know he’s well enough to go now, but he would really like to stay home, and he’s been pitching a fit every morning when the bus comes. He’ll be out of school again Monday and Tuesday for conferences, so that doesn’t help anything. I just have a little cold.

Easter was also wonderful. We colored eggs the night before and had an Easter egg hunt outside. Joe mowed the lawn yesterday and found a missing egg – at least there was only one! We had a big dinner at Joe’s parents’ house for Easter. It was delicious, as always. The kids are still finishing off their Easter candy, or rather; Natalie is finishing off everyone’s Easter candy when we’re not looking.




Testimony meeting is always interesting. I was in the mothers’ lounge with the baby where it was quiet, so I actually got to pay attention. I have no idea who it was, but one man’s testimony went something like this, “You know, my son is a big football fan like me. And he always goes for the quarterbacks. But I really like the guys nobody knows about, like the linemen and the defensive guys. And in the church, the prophet is kind of like the quarterback. Like Joseph Smith is great and all, but I really like the twelve apostles, you know. And in the New Testament, Jesus is wonderful, like the quarterback of the team, but I just find myself rooting for His disciples. And I just think it’s great that we have a new apostle in the Twelve…” Wow!

Joe and I splurged on golf passes to the course next to our subdivision. Joe has been playing really well lately. I’m not as bad as I used to be! We can take Natalie and AJ with us, now that they’re a little bit older, but Brooklin is technically not welcome. We’ll have to figure out what to do with her while we go. Last time we went, we just pushed her stroller through the course, but I’m pretty sure that we’re not supposed to do that. Lots of fun though!

I went back to work on Sunday night. Ugh… It wasn’t as bad as I was afraid, but I survived, and so did my patients.

That testimony was pretty interesting. That is cool there is a golf course right by your house. I think I'd take Brooklin along until someone else told me not to. If she gets noisy you could just run home.
